They rightfully attract the attention of many scholars, discussing historical backgrounds, institutional networks, or influential maters. Still, some aspects of monastic life have not yet received the attention they deserve. This book therefore aims to study some of the most essential, but often overlooked, issues of Buddhist life: namely, practices and objects of bodily care. For monastic authors, bodily care primarily involves bathing, washing, cleaning, shaving and triming the nails, activities of everyday life that are performed by lay people and moastics alike. In this sense, they are all highly recognizable and, while structuring monastic life, equally provide a potential bridge between two worlds that are constantly interacting with each other: monastic people and their lay followers. Bodily practices might by viewed as relatiely simple and elementary, but it is exactly through their triviality that they give us a clear insight into the structure and development of Buddhist monasteries. Over time, Buddhist monks and nuns have, through their painstaking effort into regulating bodily care, defined the identity of Buddhist saṃgha, overtly displaying it to the laity"--Back coverMonastic and religious life (Buddhism)HistoryIndiaMonastic and religious life (Buddhism)HistoryChinaHuman bodyBuddhismReligious aspectsChinaHygieneReligious aspectsIndiaHygieneHistoryHygiene in literatureConduct of lifeBuddhist monksMonastic and religious life (Buddhism)HistoryMonastic and religious life (Buddhism)HistoryHuman bodyBuddhismReligious aspectsHygieneReligious aspectsHygieneHistory.Hygiene in literatureConduct of life.Buddhist monks.294.36570954Heirman Ann674277Heirman AnnTorck MathieuPQKBUkMaJRUBOOK9910563159303321Pure mind in a clean body2837115UNINA
